I have changed my grad project topic from special effects to film editing because i have a more focused idea of what i could do for my project.

September 5, 2009

have started gathering sites with information on my topic

Grad project questions 9/4/09

1. what have you heard about the graduation project at city high? do you know any 12th grade students or who have graduated that completed their projects? What were there experiences?

I have heard that graduation project is a 2 year process where the student researches a topic and creates an action plan on that topic and during senior year you have to give a 20 minute presentation on everything they have done and it is a graduation requirement. i do not know any 12th graders

2. What are some interests you think you might like to structure a project around?
film, film editing, special effects, web design.

3. What are some concerns you might have about the graduation project?
I think that my main issue will be thinking of an action plan because for what im interested in its hard to think of something outside the box because so many things have already been done in those feilds.

I decided i want to do my project on special effects only i cant think of an action plan so i'm stuck
